Hey guys,
Giving this a pretty massive bump - I think that I had it priced way too high. While the car has some great additions to it, its history and salvage title have been causing concern amongst prospective buyers. The longer I have this car, the more I don't want to sell it, which means it really has to go :crying Tessa is now priced at $10,500 - but please make any offer!
Most of you probably don't remember me, as I haven't been all that active lately. For that, I really am sorry. I have been extremely busy and in the middle of a full time Job, a business, and some other projects. Anyways, the time has come for me to part with a car that has seen me through some major changes in life, and I would love to pass it on to another member of the community so it will continue to be cared for and enjoyed.
I think that most of you will recognize this car, but if not - here is a refresher : Darios OB ZHP Revival (http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?10654-Dario-s-OB-ZHP-Revival)

- OEM Alternator (1/18/16 @ 92,xxxK
- Rear (L & R) Vapor barriers (1/29/16 @ 92,xxxK)
I hope that paints a little picture for the mechanical condition of the car. . . And now for all of the bad stuff :(
- The headliner in the rear right side is sagging...bad
- C Pillars are pealing
- Some curb rash
- Steering angle sensor needs to be replaced (only thing this affects is DSC)
- It's time for new tires
- Passenger rear shadowline trim clip is broken (yes...still broken)
- There are 4 tiny rust bubbles that have not gotten any worse in the past 3 years
- The front headlight surrounds are showing their age
- One of the tie rods is stuck so while the car tracks perfectly straight, and the alignment is dead one, the steering wheel is off canter slightly. If you are OCD, you will notice this, but otherwise you don't notice it to much.
- The plastic rails on the roof are paint pealing like crazy and the roof itself has devolved a peal roughly the size of your average grape fruit. This is by far the worst part of this whole car and I'm not sure what to do about it.
I promise my full disclosure, those are all the problem areas of the car. Clutch has tons of life. Engine runs beautifully, suspension is stiff and does what it does rather well.
If you are local, I would be more than happy to blow your mind on the back roads by my house! This car handles... like an M2 (and I say that from experience).
My time with this car has been amazing on so many levels, but it's time for change. Thank you all for taking the time to look.
